Dale Bozzio (October 31, 2010) – Make Love Not War Album: Digital
Make Love Not War is the third solo album by Dale Bozzio, released digitally on October 31, 2010 through Electrik Blue Records and Blue Pie Records.
The 74:40 collection brings together rare and previously unreleased recordings, with much of the material dating from 1991. For the Prince Chronicle, its particular significance is Take Me To Your Leader (Prince Mix), a track co-written by Dale Bozzio and Prince.
The album was issued exclusively in digital form, with no known physical CD edition.
RECORDING
Much of the material collected on Make Love Not War was recorded during 1991.
Specific studio information is not supplied.
Prince's precise musical contribution to Take Me To Your Leader is not identified in the supplied information. The released version is identified as the Prince Mix, with Prince's remix credit described in the source material as assumed rather than confirmed.
The track also incorporates a sampled bass performance by Raymond Earl from I Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl).
STYLE & THEMES
Make Love Not War functions partly as an archival collection, bringing together rare, alternate and previously unreleased Dale Bozzio recordings rather than presenting an entirely newly recorded 2010 project.
Multiple versions of Simon Simon and The Motorcycle Song appear alongside previously unreleased material, while Take Me To Your Leader (Prince Mix) provides the album's direct connection to Prince.
The collection also follows Bozzio's earlier Riot In English, which contained another Prince-related recording, So Strong.
RELEASE HISTORY
Make Love Not War was released digitally on October 31, 2010.
No physical CD edition is known to have been released. A digital booklet accompanied the project.
The album produced no singles, although Simon Simon had previously been released in connection with Bozzio's earlier solo album Riot In English.
The album did not chart.
